Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method for managing signal interference in a wireless communication device comprising a first receiver the method comprising: determining an occurrence of signal interference within the wireless communication device; determining one or more types of interference information to send to a network based on a predetermined policy; sending interference information related to the signal interference associated with the wireless communication device to a network interface of the network based on the predetermined policy to reduce the signal interference; and performing one or more corrective actions to decrease the signal interference within the wireless communication device; wherein the network performs the one or more corrective actions; wherein the one or more corrective actions include a handover of the wireless communication device from one base station to another base station, adjusting a frequency range from a low band to a high band, adjusting a frequency range to a new frequency range, aligning resource blocks of a signal, sending a message to the wireless communication device to reduce a power level thereof, switching to a modulation scheme that requires less of a signal-to-noise ratio or error vector magnitude, and combinations thereof.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication device further comprises a second receiver operating in carrier aggregation mode, wherein signals received at the first receiver are first signals and signals received at the second receiver are second signals.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the signals have a first frequency range and a second frequency range.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a harmonic of the second frequency range overlaps with the first frequency range.
5. The method of claim 3 , wherein a harmonic of the second frequency range is near the first frequency range.
6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the signals occur internally in the wireless communication device.
7. The method of claim 3 , wherein one of the signals is transmitted over a cellular network and another one of the signals are transmitted over a wireless local area network.
8. The method of claim 3 , wherein the first frequency range is a first Long Term Evolution Band and wherein the second frequency is a second Long Term Evolution Band.
9. The method of claim 2 , wherein the signal interference associated with the wireless device is generated by a power amplifier coupled to a transmitter of either the first receiver or the second receiver, and wherein the signal interference affects reception of signals received by the first receiver and the second receiver.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interference information indicates a level of the signal interference.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interference information comprises a value indicating a minimum frequency shift that is required to reduce the signal interference.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interference information indicates a type of signal interference.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the clock interference is internal clock harmonics.
14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising switching off the carrier aggregation mode as a corrective action performed by the network.
15. A device comprising: a processing unit; an information component operatively coupled to the processing unit to identify information related to a plurality of signals associated with the device and to determine an occurrence of a signal interference associated with the device; wherein the signal interference is generated by a power amplifier coupled to a transmitter of a first receiver; wherein the information component is configured to determine one or more types of interference information to send to the network based on the predetermined policy; a communication component is further configured to send interference information to a network interface of a network based on the policy to reduce the signal interference; and wherein the device is configured to have one or more corrective actions performed thereon to decrease the signal interference within the device; and wherein the network performs the one or more corrective actions; wherein the one or more corrective actions include a handover of the wireless communication device from one base station to another base station, adjusting a frequency range from a low band to a high band, adjusting a frequency range to a new frequency range, aligning resource blocks of a signal, sending a message to the device to reduce a power level thereof, switching to a modulation scheme that requires less of a signal-to-noise ratio or error vector magnitude, and combinations thereof.
16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the signals have a first frequency range and a second frequency range.
17. The device of claim 16 , wherein a harmonic of the second frequency range overlaps with the first frequency range.
